[PT-New Zealand / Christchurch] © 2009 - dingo Pictured is Patrick Trevillion on a cold and clear mid-winter at Waikuku Beach, New Zealand, during a big Southerly storm which came through over night dumping heaps of snow and pushing in a nice swell. It's a nice beachbreak, with lots of space that picks up more south swell than the town beaches. Winter can get pretty cold but when the snow melts in spring and runs down the rivers... that's when it really gets cold. You'll need boots, gloves and a hood to be comfortable and surf your best out there.
The biggest issue here during winter is the lack of surfers to take photos of! During the mid-week I am usually the only one out there, and after working hours the sun gets down below the trees so there is too little light for good shots. It was so icy this day that two of the boys' surf boards got stuck to the roof rack with ice!
